The decision not to renew our Papanui lease was tough, but now that it’s made, it feels like the perfect move. With our Barrington studio staying and being reimagined with a sharper focus on longevity, we’re excited for what the new year will bring ✨.

My word for 2026 is health 💛 - and yes, the irony isn’t lost on me. For the last eight years, I’ve been focused on building a health business 🏋️‍♀️.

But as I step out of rehab mode personally, I know that just ‘getting by’ isn’t enough. I want to be in my best health now, so I can thrive, not just survive, - today, in 10 years, and well into my 70s and 80s. I know I’m not alone in that 🙌.

That’s why this decision isn’t about pulling back.
It’s about stepping forward with intent 🚀.

Freedom Health is now focused on becoming New Zealand’s first and leading longevity studio 🥇.

A place where healthcare is proactive, not reactive 💡
Where movement is about optimising, not just getting through today 🏃‍♀️.

This is about bringing high-performance health principles - usually reserved for elite athletes - to everyday Kiwis.
It’s about helping people live better, not just longer ❤️.

The future you're planning deserves that level of care, and we can’t wait to bring it to you in 2026 🎉✨.

“Pain = damage”? 💥 “My glutes are lazy”? 😴

These are some of the biggest and most common myths about hip pain.

Which one have you believed? 👀

✨ Hip pain doesn’t always mean arthritis… or surgery. ✨

Relief is often simpler than you think.

Strong looks different here. 💪

Build trust.

✨ If you’re over 40, your body responds differently to injury and exercise.

Which means your rehab plan needs to be different too, but not every Physio understands this.

Here’s what to look for when choosing the right physio 👇

1️⃣ They assess your whole body, not just where it hurts. Pain is often the symptom, not the cause.

2️⃣ They adapt for midlife changes.
Hormones, recovery time, tendon health... your body now responds differently to load and stress. Your treatment plan should reflect that.

3️⃣ They help you stay active for the years ahead. Your Physio isn’t just fixing pain today, they’re helping you move freely for decades to come.

This is exactly how our Physio team works every single day.

If you want to get back to moving with confidence (and stay that way), we’re here to help.

💬 Send us a DM or visit www.freedomhealth.co.nz to book an appointment with a Physio who understands YOU!

💥Even simple tasks can feel like a physical and mental drain when you're in pain.

It’s not just about your back. It’s about your whole system: stress, tension, hormones and fear can all contribute to your symptoms and leave you feeling stuck. 😩

At Freedom Health, we take a smarter approach. We work with you to find ways to move that not only feel safe, they also feel good for your body. No more pushing through. No more strain. When movement becomes easier, life feels lighter.

💫 You don’t need to push harder. You need a new way to move.

You’ve tried it all -
Clam exercises. Bridges. Band walks.
🔥 You’ve tried to “wake up” those glutes like everyone has told you....

BUT...
❌ Your hip still aches.
❌ The same tight spots keep flaring up.
❌ Nothing seems to create lasting change.

Here’s why 👇

The problem isn’t that your glutes are weak or lazy.
It’s that they’re offline. Your brain isn’t sending the right signals for them to switch on at the right time.
This happens because pain and injury change the way your nervous system communicates with your muscles.
Your body starts protecting the area by turning some muscles off and overusing others.

So no matter how many exercises you try, nothing truly changes...
Until you address the “why.”

That’s where we do things differently. 💡
We look deeper to figure out why your nervous system is stuck in protective mode and stopping your glutes from firing. Then we give you the exact exercise and feedback your body needs to reconnect.

This isn’t about doing more exercises.
It’s about doing the right movement, in the right way, at the right time, so your hip finally feels supported again.

💬 If you’ve been stuck in the “glute activation” loop, there is a smarter way - and when you find it, you may be surprised at how quickly it can change your pain.
Call us today - 03 355 6699.

💫 Body confidence isn’t about how your body looks; it’s about how your body feels.

It’s about trusting that your body will support you, no matter what life brings.

At 20, strength might have meant pushing harder, going faster, doing more.

🎯 But now? Things are different. What seems most important has changed. Strength (and body confidence) comes from moving smarter. From building trust with your body, not fighting against it.

Because when you can rely on your body, you feel free to truly live your life the way you want - whether that’s hiking with friends, chasing kids (or grandkids), or simply getting through a busy day without pain.

✨You get to decide what strength and confidence mean for you (and we're here to help you find it, if you need us).
